Leaves droop for a few diff reasons. It is usually a sign of stress. Most commonly b/c soil is dry, temps are cold, roots are over crowded. It's probably not the light. Too much light will make leaves shrivel and curl not droop. If the soil is not dry and they are drooping then it is not under watering.

I would have to say yes and no. Plants can have too much light, especially if they arent used to it. Not start owt, just wanted to say that sometimes a plant can have too much light. Especially if the light is a good/correct spectrum. The leaves are trying to get out of direct light as best they can. Im not saying that is the case with the op's plants, just a suggestion. I think its called photo-oxidiation when there is too much light. Just like a plant can have too much sun outside. Glad your plants are looking better though op.

Yeah that makes sense, so good to know thanks mate! Also I didn't realise the leaves would droop when dry from under-watering, I thought they would curl up. So much to learn, so little space to store it.

I think that may become an issue. 86 is 30 degree c isnt it...? Just googled it, yeah, i think your temps could be an issue,
68-80 would do, and I think its 72-78degrees is optimal, and photosynthesis decrease by about 10% for every degree over it. (Using degrees F) Or something like that. You could run 82-89 with co2 supplementation.
edit. 79 degrees F is the point photosynthesis starts to decrease, not 78 sorry.
